How to design an 'Interactive Digital Signage' appliance. How to design a touch table?

Well first of all I believe that the technology you plan to use needs to be:

- robust

- needs to be able to integrate well into hospitality environments

- simple to use interfaces & management

Selecting the right hardware and the right software is a crucial part. You can for example buy some expensive touch tables that run commercial operating systems. Go on and find ma a restaurant manager who would pay 10k euro for one table.

The next possibility you have is to project the surface onto each table from the ceiling. This requires quite a lot of modifications to the architecture of the venue and the lighting conditions are also very important, since this technology only works well without direct sunlight.

So what are the important factors:

- ease of installation

- price

- ease of use

- integration into existing environments

At Simple Media Platform we believe that finding the 'Golden Path' is the most important thing when presenting your technology to the market and we also believe in the strength of open platforms. We want to let other companies create software and new designs on top of our base hardware and software platforms.

We use open source, embedded hardware and small footprint software. This let's us push the cost of interactive systems to the floor.

How to create a restaurant or a bar that is 'interactive'. How to effectively use the technology available to create an exciting self-service venue.

I hear from a lot of people that:

- touch tables are too expensive

- it's more of a burden

- it must fit with the experiences of the customer

And that's true. To make a venue 'interactive' you first need to ask yourself how the processes in it work. How can you integrate interactive technology in a way that wouldn't be disturbing the customer, but benefiting him - and let's be honest - many geeks sometimes believe that certain technology is cool and beneficial, but when used in real life actually makes life more complicated.

In a too small venue it's unproductive to give your staff mobile POS systems. For example imagine that you have a bar with a few tables just five meters away from the bar. There the waiter or waitress would spend far too much time typing in the orders into a digital handheld device.

The interactive systems, e.g. touch tables or digital menu's integrated into such an environment don't necessarily benefit in the ordering process - in this case they are more beneficial as interactive menu's whereas the ordering still takes place the old way. This makes the installation efficient and beneficial. The customer has an experience from using an interactive system, the manager get's to update the menu's items digitally and there is still first level communication with the staff.

In larger installations, with maybe two floors touch tables, digital menu's installed for example on iPads and mobile POS devices can indeed speed up the processes and self service functionality can be turned on the tables.

In luxury venues it is better to install smaller digital menus - for example 8 inch touch screens for every customer. We experience that these systems are many times more practical than large touch surfaces. Large touch surfaces are best for lounge areas, bars or spaces where people wait.

Remember to always use technology that fits your venue.
